We had a long day on Monday at the North Leinster schools in Santry with a large group from the club competing.
In the minor races Juliette showed her fitness and resilience following her 4th place in the 1500m on Sunday in Tallaght with two 6th places yesterday in the 1100m and 800m. Great race practice! Ellen Fisher surprised herself with a fine 3rd place in the minor hurdles final!
In the junior events Jessica Ryan fought hard to hang on to 3rd place in the 1500m, Lelia Ryan came 5th in the long jump, Pearl o Brien and Maisy Kenny came 2nd in their heats( only winner progressed) both looked very good.
Freya Dillon is getting back to racing after an injury and will benefit from her busy few days doing 1500 on Sunday, 800 yesterday and helping her school team make the final of the relay.
Maisy, Pearl , Saoirse and Jessica’s relay team finished 3rd in their final.
In the under 16 races Caroline and Lama came 2nd and 3rd in the mile . Brave running from both and their first individual medals 👏

Aoibhinn came 4th in the inter 1500m with Abigail a few places behind her. Aimee Ryan finished 5th in the final of the inter 300m. Sara came 4th in the 800m final.
